Adult Gloves with kiddie loops

Not a sexy subject, but went shopping for new gloves first time in 15 years. Bought a pair that has these straps that slip over your wrists and tighten up. Now I can take off my gloves on the lift, while fishing around for something and not worry about losing them.

A clever, little feature that I never knew about and really appreciate

I LOVE this feature. My mittens I've had for 4 years now have this feature. Never thought much about it until I bought a back-up pair at TJ Maxx recently. Didn't notice they didn't have the leashes on them and they're a pain to use at work.

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. ~ Lance Armstrong

I've got them on my spring gloves and my "artic" gloves(both Marmot) and LOVE them. It makes grabbing the digi cam easy, or any other time that you need to get into the jacket for something, especially on the chair a breeze!

Somehow though, even with "kiddie straps", my kid can still loose a glove quite easily

I use my mitten's "idiot cords" or "keeper cords" (for the easily offended idiot) all the time - great for dropping for using my camera or whatnot.
Some jackets (although rare) even have a ring on the sleeve where you can girth hitch your gloves onto.


Smell the glove

Now, how much more black can this be?


The answer is none. None more black.
